Figure 3

The effect of LCAP on the average levels of PMN and NE in three groups. The numbers of PMN in the right femoral artery were counted at the indicated time period using the Digicell 500 cell counter (a), and the mean levels of NE in sera at the same time periods were determined by ELISA kits (R&D, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions (b). *indicates significant difference between the LCAP and the sham-LCAP groups ( ). **indicates significant difference between the LCAP and the LPS groups ( ).
